Like what?

Hes gonna get his money back.

You know, whyd you even sit here?

Katlin?

Youre wanted at the office.

Tell me why Im here.

Not quite sure what to lie about?

Okay, convince me this isnt

your credit card bill.

You went through my room?

You went through my purse?

Twenty-six hundred dollars past due!

The balance goes up and down

like a yo-yo!

Cheryl and I were booking things

for Europe.

Uh... Katlin!

I can use the internet!

"Rambler-Gambler-dot-Com"?

Wha... What has gotten into you?

Look, i s not all mine.

We pooled some money together

to bet on the internet.

Who?

Is it that Ron guy?

Its not Ron. Its just some friends. We

wanted to make extra money, and we lost.

It was stupid.

Just dont tell Dad.

Give me that card.

- Give it to me!

- Okay.

Im gonna have to cover it on my card.

Mom, were gonna pay you back.

Youre Goddamn right, Katlin!

I cant afford it either.

Okay, Im too angry to talk anymore.

No internet casinos. No pools.

No bullshit. Or no Europe.

Okay.

And dont you dare treat me

like an idiot.

Its bad enough Im about to

treat your father like one.

Im sorry.

Not very.

Hey! Katlin! Come here!

Hello.

What are you gonna do?

Beat me up in here?

Nice. Very intimidating.

Youre not paying, Katlin.

I hear shes got family problems.

Were gonna start charging you

interest.

Hows prime plus two?

Why dont you gimme your account

number and well automate the payments.

Why do you have to be such a b*tch?

Everyone else just pays up.

Yeah, well, maybe if your buddy here

stopped bad mouthing me,

youd find it easier to collect.

Am I bad mouthing you?

Suckhole smart ass b*tch?

Get off me!

You know what?

You just sunk to the bottom of my list.

A**hole.

He drops her!

Dont! Please!

Theres like a thousand bucks in here.

Oh, bullshit you were "gonna"!

You know what Katlin, youre pathetic.

Dont take all of it...

Just pay us the rest.
